Let's see what's happening here, Bost.

 

Based on the details you've provided, there are different possibilities why it won't accrue. It could be that:

  • The payroll items were set up incorrectly.
  • Sick/vacation setup for the employee is incorrect.
  • You mark the Do not accrue sick/vacation pay box.
  • Your employee has reached the maximum number of hours.

To fix the issue, I'd recommend following the steps in this article: Sick and vacation time incorrect or not accruing on paychecks.

Make sure the QuickBooks release and the Payroll Tax Table versions are updated always to avoid unexpected issues.

 

Let us know how this goes so we can review it. Have a great day!

It all seems right

my  PTO is under annual salary in lists

it says she has 20 hours of PTO left when I put in 40 hours the pay check says she has -20 
it is still has the total paid amount equaling her normal pay. 
I put in a three day leave of absence that did not change it either
